FireEye Achieves Certification Within UK Cyber Essentials Scheme

Industry-Leading FireEye Recognized as Key to Securing UK Businesses

MILPITAS, Calif – January 19, 2015 – FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ:
FEYE), the leader in stopping today’s advanced cyber attacks, today
announced that it has been awarded the UK Government’s new Cyber
Essentials Scheme accreditation. Part of the UK Government’s National
Cyber Security Strategy, the Cyber Essentials Scheme is an independent
analysis and recommendation of the necessary security controls for
mitigating risks from the latest cyber threats. The accreditation
applies to all of FireEye, which includes the security operations of
customer deployed FireEye technologies, expertise, and intelligence
that encompass FireEye.

“The existence of this accreditation by the UK Government shows just
how much the cyber threat landscape for all companies has drastically
changed within the last year,” said Greg Day, EMEA CTO at FireEye. “By
receiving this accreditation for FireEye, UK businesses can be further
assured that we are aligning the controls of critical systems and
business operations with the growing appetite for independent security validation.”

“We are very pleased that FireEye, one of the foremost cybersecurity
companies, has attained the Cyber Essentials Scheme certification for
its global operations through IASME,” said David Booth, MD of IASME
Consortium Ltd, one of the organizations managing the assessment
process. “Although FireEye’s information security goes well beyond the
Cyber Essentials Scheme controls, the company is leading by example in
this important area.”

“We are very happy to receive this accreditation for FireEye and
encourage other companies to do so,” said Craig Rosen, Chief
Information Security Officer at FireEye. “The process was
straightforward and we are excited to add this to a growing list of
credentials that provide a level of transparency and assurance to our customers.”

The Cyber Essentials Scheme is a UK Government initiative to provide
a common cybersecurity baseline standard for adoption by all
businesses. The standard covers five primary areas of cyber security,
providing core requirements for firewalls and Internet gateways,
security configuration, user access controls, malware and patch management.

Systems that fall within its scope include devices such as desktop
PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, as well as email, web and
application servers and other Internet-connected systems. By
successfully completing a Cyber Essentials Scheme assessment,
organisations lower their risk of serious data and financial loss, and
those companies that display the Cyber Essentials badge demonstrate to
customers that they have taken steps to be fundamentally cyber safe.
